Motivo is an engineering services firm taking complex hardware from concept through prototype to low-volume production. Its stack pairs embedded tooling (STM32, RTOS, CAN-FD, FPGA, Simulink Coder) with edge autonomy components (Jetson Orin, ROS 2), and project demand clusters around 800V power electronics, motor control firmware and hardware-in-the-loop validation, pointing to electrified, autonomous platforms. Hiring is overwhelmingly senior engineering.
Notable leadership hires: Product Director
Motivo is a privately held product development firm founded in 2010 and headquartered in Rancho Dominguez, California, with 51–200 employees. It provides systems engineering across mechanical, electrical, controls and embedded software disciplines, alongside in-house fabrication and low-volume manufacturing. The company works on hardware programs in aerospace, autonomous systems, robotics and mobility. Clients span early-stage startups through large enterprises that need an embedded outside engineering team. Engineering, design and fabrication operate from a single facility.
Motivo uses SolidWorks, CATIA and Altium Designer for design, MATLAB, Simulink Coder and SPICE for modeling, STM32, FPGA, RTOS and Embedded C for firmware, plus ROS 2 and Jetson Orin for autonomy.
Yes. Motivo's hiring is concentrated in engineering, weighted toward senior roles, with smaller openings in sales and product, including a Product Director. All hiring is in the United States.
Job posts point to real-time motor control firmware, 800V power electronics and custom high-voltage PCBs, hardware-in-the-loop testing, high-voltage actuator test rigs and controls for autonomous robotic systems.
